Anyone who is a student knows to be very friggin careful before going near these people. They changed their name from the infamous MTM recently to 'coapt' because even they admitted they had such a dire reputation. They obviously think students are stupid to fall for the renaming but we all know who you are. I've lived in one of their houses, it all started off fine, then whenever anything went wrong, they took weeks to fix it. Some of the builders that turned up would just let themselves in, without any warning and lets just say they certainly weren't the kind of people you want in your home without you being there. At the end of our tenancy they conjured up over £600 in 'fees' they took from our deposit. We left the property pristine, but still they charged us all sorts of bizarre 'expenses' including 'fix kitchen door handle' for £25.... that was broken when we moved in. These people are crooks, they try and be all 'cool' and 'down with the kids' but this is nothing more than a racket.
Absolute rip off. I calculated over a year I paid over £490 in various fees and charges. There were six of us..... £3k in their pocket

17 Jan 2019Hello, sorry to read you are unhappy. Our rebrand from MTM to Coapt was more than just a change in name, we've worked really hard to change our company ethos, processes and procedures to make sure our tenants don't feel the way you do. Your feedback is key to help us continue to develop and I would be keen to gain more information so I can investigate exactly where we went wrong. All our contractors have signed a SLA to confirm they will contact tenants before attending a maintenance issue, it is very serious if this is not happening and I would like to make sure this is addressed. Please contact emma@coapt.co.uk. I'm sorry you came across fees during your contract, other than our agency fees of £200pp (which is below the national average) any other charges you may come across during your tenancy are for breach of contract, such as paying your rent late. Deposits are protected with MyDeposits which means landlords and agents cannot make unfair deductions. At the end of your tenancy if there are charges to return the property back to the same condition you received it in that you feel are unfair please make sure you speak to your finance manager first so we can investigate. All proposed charges are based on evidence from a third party inventory,m check in and check out. If we are unable to come to an agreement you can approach MyDeposits and an external adjudicator will access whether the deductions are fair and if the money should be awarded to the tenants or landlord.

5 Oct 2022i totally agree. I tried to write a review but didnt get it posted. I guess they dont want more negative comments! Useless company which is basically stealing from students!

These agents are absolutely terrible and treat their tenants appallingly. My son rented a house through them. The sofas and carpets were flea-infested and there was extensive mould everywhere. Nothing worked properly and the furniture was of the poorest quality imaginable. None of it was fit for ... Read Full Review

Avoid at all costs. Our experience was the same as many below - they let really poor quality accommodation, showed no interest in helping with any of the many issues from mould to poor heating and then charged through the nose for cleaning and repairs even though we cleaned the place top to bottom ...

Systematic exploitation of students. Worst quality at highest prices. Mould mushrooms and damp not sorted out in my daughter's room. House was a tip when moving in. Now seeking to retain large amount of deposit on no valid basis. Whoever you choose DO NOT use this ... Read Full Review

I am currently renting a property that is being sold by my landlord, under Coapt.

Attention All students. Please avoid this letting agency at all costs. They will keep 90% of your deposit, while leasing you a sub standard accomodation. They think because you are a student they can treat you however they wish. If you are silly enough to lease from this agency, please do yourself ... Read Full Review

I wouldn't recommend Coapt to ANY student. In the case of my daughter - they did absolutely nothing to assist the students to get a refund of their paid deposits. They charged the students for things which were already a problem/broken when they moved in to the house. The house was in a ... Read Full Review

Avoid like the plague !! Sales teams will say anything to get you to sign a contract, anything they say, get in writing because it's most likely false. Phone lines aren't recorded just leaving a further gap for dodgy practises. Was advised as a student, I should have got legal ... Read Full Review

We used Syd and the team at Coapt to sell our property. Given the complexity of the sale it was seamless and most importantly stress free.

As landlords we paid Co Apt £1,200. We asked for a group of 4 students, they upset our current students by turning up unannounced and without consulting us they got 3 students and 1 professional.
